Prof. Michał Bilewicz, a sociologist and social psychologist from the Center for Research on Prejudice at the University of Warsaw, made no secret of his admiration for Agnieszka Holland’s scandalous film. “Green edge”.
I came back from the cinema last night feeling like I took part in the spectacle of a big, beautiful, deeply patriotic film
Holland praised the lampoon Prof. Michał Bilewicz.
This is another time I have similar feelings, when state propaganda tries to create a kind of moral panic around something that, as in this case, is a great work and very important for moral education.
– he said. It is worth emphasizing here that Bilewicz in the past, among other things, accused the Poles of not helping to save the Jews during the Second World War. Of course, he did not add that these heroic acts were punishable by death not only for the person who helped, but also for his entire family.
““It’s a great movie with a great message.”
Bilewicz compared the false lampoon of the Netherlands… with, among other things, the history of the Ulma family and Irena Sendler, involved in saving Jews!
It is important that we look at the history of people like the Ulmas, Sendler and Oskar Schindler. I think I would put this movie in this category. This is cinema that shows that in extreme situations (…) there are people who can behave heroically. It’s a great movie with a great message
– he said.
As you can see, Prof. Michał Bilewicz actually directly connects helping immigrants enter Poland illegally with… saving Jews during World War II. The juxtapositions he uses include outrageous and insulting. the blessed Ulma family.
